I have a 99 dak. 2wd and I am trying to make it a prerunner but need to know a few things first. One is does my truck have spindles and if so who sells them? two is i want to put 33 x 12.50r15 on my truck after i get the spindles and upper control arms which give me 6 inch lift, will this make a problem for my truck? Any websites that have great deals on lift kits and parts for lifts please let me know.

thanks
miles

Hey miles, first off they don't make spindles for our dak yet. If you want 33's go with 3in susp by fabtech and a 3in body. Alittle bit of trimming is neccessary on the front valance but not much. I would suggest changing your gearing to 4.10 it helps alot. Here are some of my photos as of a couple of months ago.

Hey jason, I really like your truck lol. How do you like those headers? do they help low end TQ or just top end HP? I seen you were runnin what looks like 32 or 33s SO i was just wondering how that V6handles that load. I'm thinking about getting a 2'' lift. coil spacers blocks and new shocks. So i didn't want to overload my truck with big tires. my truck is 2x4. I was thinking about going with 235 70r 15's. What is your advice on this?

Chevy rocks but Dodge rules!!

The headers really helped on the low end torque. I'm running 33x1250's The v6 actually is holding up great with no problems with 30000 miles on the lift kit. you should be fine with the spacers. Not sure but a add a leaf will probably be needed. Good luck and hope to you in the air.
